What are the "AK-47" of items? (cheap, durable, just works)
  • It's like a small pitcher with a movable filter, you put in the ground coffee, hit water, stir, wait, push down the filter with the grounds, pour off the coffee with most of the ground staying in the French press.

  • What to do with extra mushrooms?
  • You could try to pickle them? The recipe I found uses 2tbsp sugar , 2tbsp salt, 1tbsp vinegar , black pepper and bay leaves for 1l water and 1kg of mushrooms. You cook the mushrooms for half an hour, then boil the brine as well, mix the mushrooms with the syrup, cook together for 15' and put them to jars. I haven't tried it yet, though.

  • Finding a BifL smartphone
  • We have a perfectly functioning iPad1 (2?) and a somewhat younger Android tablet. There are no OS updates, you can't install any new software, and on most cases even browsing is broken.

  • Let's discuss: Uplifting Games
  • Kerbal Space program wasn't on the list, and maybe OpenTTD? The latter is also great when you have a random setup (the game is 10Mb, runs in anything and has zero needs) and have only 20 minutes to play.

  • Lost and found
  • If you look at any of the ancient statues they don't look black, whatever the recent propaganda tries to push. It doesn't make any sense to put everyone in those four racial boxes - an Ethiopian looks as distinct from a South African as a Spaniard and a Swede

  • Lemmies of Lemmy do you believe in eugenics? why or why not?
  • It depends... Are we speaking about keeping only tall blonde kids? Or aborting a fetus with 95% Down syndrome? Angelman's? Some other even worse? Stopping a possibility fatal pregnancy? Where do you put the line?

    As the US military begins integrating AI technology, simulated wargames show how chatbots behave unpredictably and risk nuclear escalation

    AI chatbots tend to choose violence and nuclear strikes in wargames

    Did nobody really question the usability of language models in designing war strategies?

    How easy is to get a prepaid SIM-card in the US for travel?

    I'm visiting for two weeks and roaming prices are insane, I'm considering getting a prepaid SIM-card. Can I easily grab one in any shop, e.g. at the airport/Walmart? What are the prices? Unlimited data would be nice, but I can survive with a few GBs too, I'd probably need it mainly for navigation.
